There is a mine near Leadville in
to which women are never admitted.
If a woman were permitted to enter
this mine I believe, says a writer in
the Denver Tribune, every man on
the premises would quit work. The
mine has had tin accident for everv
woman who has Visited it. Imme
diately after a woman has been ad
mitted some mishap, with damage to
property orlife, has followed. Hence
the superstition of the miners.

New York gossips assert that Mrs.
James G, Blaine, Jr., will return to
the stage after she has recovered her
health. Before her misalliance
with her scapegrace husband she
was a pupil of Modjeska, and was
under contract for the entire season.
A summer at Long Branch settled
the question another way. She
played lawn tennis with young
Blaine, fell in loye with him, and
gave up her stage aspirations to be
ome his wife. The understanding
is that the young couple will not re
unite. A distinguished Democratic leader
who recently talked with the Presi
dent regarding the election quotes
Mr. Clevelanc4 as saying:
I am told that without the tariff
issue in the last campaign we'should
have carried the country. That
may be true, but the time had come
when the issue between the two par
ties had to be made and the Demo
crats made it. I don't regret it. It
is better to be defeated battling for
ah honest principle than to win by
a cowardly subterfuge. .Some of
my friends say we ought to have
gone before the country on the clean
administration we have given the
people. I differ from them. We
needed a clean cut, well defined is
sue. We were defeated, it is true,
but the principles of tariff reform
will surely win in the end.
It is pretty well understood that
the conductors of Harper s Magazine
always intend to issue a Christmas
Number which shall be not only
complete in itself, but arranged on
ines somewhat different from those
followed during the rest of the year;
and the articles in tiie Christmas
Number for 1888 were selected, evi
dently, with this end in view. The
result is an issue strong and novel.
The originality of its pages is, per
haps, most striking in the short
stories (the serial stories all ended
n the November Number) as in
4The Christmas Story of a Little
Church." by Grace King, "Sosrus
Dismal," by W, W. Archer,and 4kTlie
Front Yard," by Miss Woolson
this last being a daring comparison
of Italian and New England natures
and ways. In poetry, too, the nuni
ber is exceptionally good. Artisti
cally, it has never been surpassed.

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Medico-Legal Society, in New
York, on Wednesday night a re
port relative to executions by elec
tricity was read, from which we ex
tract the following:
"After mature deliberation we re
cominetid that the death current be
administered to the criminal in the
following manner: A stout table
covered with cloth, and having
holes alomr its borders for bindingr.
or a strong chair, should be procur
ed. The prisoner, lying on his back
or sitting, should be lirmly bound
upon this table or in the chair' fhie ;
electrode should be so inserted into i
the table or into the back of thej
chair that it will impinge upon tho
spine between the shoulders. The
head.should be secured, by means
of a sort of helmet fastening to tho
table or back of the chair and to
this helmet the other pole should be
so joined as to press firmly with its
end upon the top of the head. We
think a chair is preferable to a table.
The rheophores can be led off to the
dynamo through the floor to another
room, and the instrument for clos
ing the circuit can be attached to
the wall.
"The electrodes should be of
metal." not over one inch in diame
ter, somewhat ovoidal in shape, and
covered with a thick layer of sponge
or chamois skin. The poles and
the skin and hair at the points of
contract should be thoroughly wet
with warm water. The hair should
be cut short. A dynamo generating
an electro motive force of at least
3,000 volts should be employed.
Either a continuous or alternating
current maybe used, but preferably
the latter. The current should be
allowed to pass for thirty seconds.1'
"Smoke always tells the way the
wind blows,' that's true. And the
happy woman,- who was cared of
chronic headache by using Salva
tion Oil, might be excused for tel
ling the good news to the entire
neighborhood.

Spare the Mocking lirls.
Some are complaining of the fact
that mocking birds are getting very
scarce here now, due to the fact that
the boys go "limiting in the woods
and shoot them. We do not think
that there is any law against this
but there onght to be and the boy
that would shoot a mockingbird
ought to be spanked and sent to

Closed With a Farce.
There was a large audience pres
sent at the Opera House last night
to see "Zozo, the Magic Queen." It
was probably the largest assembly
seen there this season, and there
were many ladies present. The com
pany is a tine one and the perform"
ance was splendid, until towards
the close, when all life seemed to
drop ou1; of the piece and it was
abruptly cut short and hurried to a
close. The equilibrist did not ap
pear at all and the grand tableaux,
so called, at the close was a perfect
farce. Why this should have been
we are unable to say, as the troupe
did not leave here until 13:05 o'clock
for Norfolk, whore they play to
night and to-morrow night.
The Durham Failures.
Our report yesterday as to the
failures in Durham was substan
tially correct. .There wore several
names, however, that we did not
give. Tlie liabilities are about as
we stated them. The Associated
Press report is as follows;
The Bank of Durham made an as
signment last night, but it was not
made public till this forenoon. Sev
eral of the largest business estab
lishments in Durham are involved.
The list of failures is as follows:
Bank of Purhaiu a State bank
owned by W. T, Blackwell liabili
ties estimated at $-100,000, with esti
mated assets of upwards of $800,000.
E. J. Parrish, warehouseman and
manufacturer of smoking tobacco;
liabilities $190,000; estimated assets
$300,000. J. W. Blackwell, coaldeal
er, contractor, etc.; liabilities $110,
000. W. F. ElUs, dry goods dealer,
Muse, & Shaw, dry goods dealers,
$10,000. Robbins & Stone,dry goods,
$8,000.
It is believed that in eveyy in
stance the assets will uiaro than
cover the liability,
The inn,n!viUvie cause of the as
sigrsjuiiii; of the bank is the fact that
the institution had a heavy line of
discounts at the North which it
could not tret renewed. Jt stated
that Blackwell will be able to pay
all his creditors n full. The doors
of tho Uank remained closed this
lUOVning, notice being posted stat
ing that al' creditors would be paid
dollar for dollar, There has been
no run on the other Durham banks,
all of which assure the public that
they are ready to meet all demands.
J. S. Carr is believed to have been
affected very slightlT, if at all, by
the assignments.
Raleigh is not affected i,U he least
and not a single indiyual here will
suffer.
The fjoiueni of the bank was
tause of the other assignments,
afl of which were made almost si
nlultaneously. It is not supposed
that the crash will prove partinlar
h disastrous to Durham, as it is be
lieved all the houses involved will
be ab',e to pay all their liabilities;
and have a surplus remaining, and ,
will lesume business at once. i

The Lecture To-Night.
The Y. M. C. A. and others who
have availed themselves of the
tickets to Rev. Mr. Strauge's lec
ture to night are looking forward
with great interest to it. It will be
delivered c-it 8.15 in the rooms of the
Association, just over the Bank of
New Hanover. The subject is
"Purity" and it is for men only.
A Hoine-MadftBoa't.i
P. D. Robbins, of lialfsville, Du
plin county, an enterprising and in
dustrious colored man of that local
ity, is here with a new steamer which
is to ply between this city and
points on the North East Cape Fear.
The boat was built by himself. He
sawed the boards at a mill which he
owns and put the boat together.
He was twelve months in complet
ing it, as he worked on it only at
odd times. The little craft is70 feet
10 inches long and -14 feet beam.
Her speed is calculated at about 7
miles an hour and she will draw but
two feet when loaded. She is to be
inspected here and will then be put
regularly on the river.
Stole the Girl's Money.
Two of the men belonging to the
Zozo troupe werearrested last night,
after the jjerformance, by Officer
Turlington, and taken before the
Mayor, charged with huving stolen
$14 from one of the slim-limbed
beauties of Zozo's court. One of the
men was arrested at the Opera
House and the othtr at the depot.
The prosecutress appeared in court,
backed up by orto of her actress
friends. The two defendants are the
property men of the troupe and the
money is alleged to have bei?n stolen
during the rehearsal yesterday . af
ternoon. A sum equal to the miss
ing amount was found on one t the
men but as the complainant could
not positively identify the bills the
Mayor was reluctantly compelled to
dismiss the ea.se. There seemed but
little doubt of the fellow's guilt but
unfortunately it couldnot be proven.
